I'm going to put on some "Dark side of the Moon" when the shit starts getting freaky. The winds are getting pretty intense.

While I fervently hope that you, yours and all that you value come through this mess okay, Banjo, I will light a candle tonight for Geraldo's messy, filthy death.

Why thank you, G.O. The wife and kids headed to Louisiana. I'm drinking jager and watching the show. I just got a looter report in the area so I dusted off the ole .44 mag. Man, this is awesome.

I shall also light candles in front of my icons in hopes the martyred saints Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey will see fit to kill Geraldo.

If there were truly a god worthy of the term, Geraldo would have been electrocuted.

Wait.  Help me understand, Banjo.  You're going to ride this thing out, with the very good possibility that your home will be either engulfed by a monster storm surge, or that it will be blown away by a tornado... and you are facing an almost certain death....  yet you are not providing a live feed so we all can enjoy it?  What the hell kind of High-Streeter are you, anyway?  Sheesh.

I'm still here. Nothing really amazing, YET! It won't hit full force in Houston for another couple of hours. However, the Pink Floyd is cranked up, the .44 is loaded, and the Jager is flowing. Good times!

I'm also sitting pretty with two big ass generators and a Cingular internet modem. I'll be able to provide play by play all night.

Uh. Never mind. All hell just broke loose. No power and the cell card is slow as hell. I'll see y'all later.

Have fun!  Have your next-of-kin send pics.

This website has all the live Ike coverage you need, and then some.

What a fabulous promo. We should tease that for the rest of the hurricane season. "Will YOU be killed by a hurricane while looking at High-Street.org? Tune in at 10 when we will tell you all about this new site, whether God will punish you for looking at it, and how it's KILLING BABIES AND KITTENS EVERYWHERE!"

Weee! That was a blast. Can I ride it again?

Hello all. I finally got a signal (roaming charges so I'll be brief). Thanks fo the sweet eulogy and the love (G.O.). I'll be back soon after I get this 40 ft pine out of my yard.

Glad you're OK. Post some pix when you can.

I hear that (practically) every oak tree on the Texas coast is now gone.
